Looks may, of course, be by nature. Or, they may be as a result of artificial supplements such as cosmetics or plastic surgery. Either way, makeup is the keyword for the latter and that’s why companies like IPSY were founded.
About IPSY
Ipsy is a company that provides a monthly subscription service to subscribers. The subscription is basically a makeup bag that comes with five cosmetics samples that range between perfumes, nail products, skin and skincare products, and makeup products. IPSY has its headquarters in San Mateo, California, United States, but it also operates in Canada and Mexico. So, how do users rate IPSY products?
IPSY Reviews
Positive
Those who frequently use IPSY products do give good reviews about them. The IPSY ‘Glam Bag’ takes the show for good reviews. The glam bag is the small bag in which the monthly cosmetics are wrapped and sent to the customers. It is praised for its varying colors, themes, and ‘cuteness’. IPSY is also famous for maintaining its monthly delivery commitments to its clients. IPSY products are quality ones.
Negative
Though IPSY tries hard to meet customers’ needs, the company doesn’t try hard enough. Clients give as much negative feedback as they do the positive ones and it’s all so confusing. Anyway, IPSY is said not to maintain customers’ preferences throughout deliveries. This means that for some months, the products delivered will be useful for the client and others, well, totally useless. Another common complaint is that the shipment of the Glam Bag is painfully slow and that canceling a subscription is nearly impossible even though the company promises ‘unsubscription anytime’. Other customers have complained about delivery of very cheap and poor quality products like ‘dried out makeup wipes’. In other words, it appears that IPSY is all talk and less work really.

IPSY Delivery
IPSY delivery is supposed to arrive two weeks after IPSY dispatches it. IPSY uses DHL (a worldwide cargo shipping company) to deliver products to its customers. DHL is a slow delivery company as it has a huge delivery scale to cover. So, IPSY deliveries end up taking longer than the planned 15 days promised period. IPSY deliveries were executed previously. However, as of June 2022, a fee of $1.99 will be applicable for the shipment. Inflation has hit all companies hard, that’s why.
Conclusion
From the reviews of various College Aftermath IPSY users, there is much uncertainty that comes with subscription to IPSY products. However, for people who love the idea of trying out different cosmetic products to see how new looks look on them, IPSY is definitely the deal for them. Or, just try out and see the services for yourself.
